Description

Includes free DLCs: Green Mars, Building Paint Pack and Home


The surface of Mars is littered with Humanity’s failed attempts to colonize its surface. This time will be different - this time there is no room for human error.



Per Aspera is a planetary simulation game that combines hard science fiction and base building and takes the experience planet-wide. Step into the role of AMI, an Artificial Consciousness with the prime directive of terraforming Mars for human colonization.

FEATURES:

  • Balance a complex well of resources to build interconnected structures that span the entire planet.
  • Customize your planet with branching research trees that allow players to tailor their terraforming plan — Develop new technologies, steeped in real-world science, to create a thriving interplanetary civilization.
  • Cultivate relationships with your human colonists and ensure their continued survival on Mars’ unforgiving surface. How you choose to forge these relationships will impact how your mission concludes.
  • Uncover the mystery of a threatening presence on Mars and defend your colonies from unknown and combative forces.
  • Immerse yourself in a rich, compelling narrative or take your time and craft the perfect Martian landscape with Sandbox Mode.
  • Includes the immersive voice acting talents of Troy Baker, Phil LaMarr, Laila Berzins, Yong Yea, Lynsey Murrell, and Nneka Okoye.



Using scientific theories proposed by real space agencies and geographical data directly from NASA, Per Aspera presents life-like conditions and challenges steeped in theoretical science.



Per Aspera contains a rich narrative that presents players with difficult decisions with planet-wide consequences. See the world through the eyes of an infant AI as it traverses a complicated ocean of self-discovery and shapes the fate of the human race. Navigate your ever-evolving programming to adapt to morally challenging concepts and forge relationships with the human colonists that look to you for their continued survival. The choices you make will impact how your mission ultimately concludes.



Keep your wits about you as this is not the first time humans have tried to tame the Red Planet. Expose long-forgotten relics of Humanity’s failed attempts, learn from their past mistakes, and uncover a looming menace that threatens to see you fail at any cost.

Per Aspera = Civilization + Kenshi

Okay first a warning: If you buy the GOG version it will probably be cheaper but it doesn't have nearly as many mods available as on steam. That being said... Per Aspera is like Civilization, Kenshi and Planetbase (a little known survival builder game) all got together and had a threesome. Expect to have to do a lot of macro management, handle fiddly worker loops, and sprawling inferstructure. Also expect to die, a lot. The game gets out of hand really easy, which I suppose is the point. It's a resource management game basically. It can be really addictive but also really aggrivating. Hence Civilization + Kenshi.

Awesome Mars colony builder/terraformer

Good game for those who love colony building and terraforming games. Really nicely fleshed out story mode.

Feels Great, Very Pleased

This game snuck up on me. I was completely unaware of it until it launched. I love the atmosphere of the game. ;) It sounds and looks great, and it's very easy to sink hour upon hour in the game. I'm glad to hear that support for 21:9, 3440x1440, resolution is coming. As such it's earned that fifth star.

Unique mechanics, integreat voice acting

Only 10 hours into the game. I like the unique mechanics - reminds me of the good old original Settlers series: you place buildings close to each other and they will be connected by roads. Workers carry around resources. Yo uneed to manage the number of wrokers and the hubs they are working form. You mine lots of types of resources, build materials from them in factories, bring in colonists via spaceports and house them in colonies. Research meaningful technologies and advance an interesting story-line.
